Additional Package Details
Pricing – Fishing Package pricing is shown per person and based on double occupancy. Single person packages are available upon request at additional cost.
Activity Substitutions – For those who want to substitute non-fishing opportunities while here in Alaska, you have many options. Popular activities include guided rafting and hiking, day trips to local destinations, a glacier wildlife cruise, horseback riding, Alaska Railroad train trips, and float plane adventures.
Fishing Locations – We fish on all 82 miles of the Kenai River and its tributaries, as well as the Kasilof River and local Alpine Lakes. Our goal is to make this a trip you will not soon forget.
Driving – We access our exceptional fishing waters by driving. Drives of 45 minutes to an hour and a half are possible to get to the meeting places.
Our Boats – Drifter’s Lodge has a fleet of river boats, including 20ft Willie and Fishrite drift boats, and power boats. All boats comfortably accommodate four anglers and are Coast Guard compliant.
Private Boats – Guests may upgrade to private boats for smaller groups of 2 – 3 anglers.
Ocean Charters – While Drifters does not host a fleet of its own ocean charter boats, we have great relationships with some of the finest captains out of both Seward (Resurrection Bay) and Ninilchik/Deep Creek (Cook Inlet). Depending on the time of year, ocean charters may go for Halibut, salmon, Rockfish, Ling Cod and Snapper. If you wish to take advantage of these trips please book as early as possible, as these fine captains are in high demand and book up quickly. The ocean vessels available to Drifters Lodge will hold 6, 8, 10 or up to 20+ people. Fishing Package clients staying 3 days or longer may opt to substitute an ocean fishing charter for one or more days for an additional cost.
Walk-in fishing – Depending on the time of year, walk-in fishing trips on smaller streams and alpine lakes are available and provide a spectacular opportunity to fish world-class waters. These trips come highly recommended and our ratio is about 2–3 anglers per guide on these trips.
Large Groups – For larger groups (more than 8 people) please inquire for special accommodations and offers. Transportation by Drifters Lodge may be available with Regular and Premium Packages.
Packing – Alaska is a land of extremes and our weather is no exception. We recommend you bring lots of layers to accommodate temperature swings and rainy days. An insulated jacket, good rain jacket, thermal layers, gloves, thick socks, polarized sunglasses, beanie and a brimmed hat are the basics. Synthetic clothing materials are a better choice than cotton in most cases. Don’t forget your camera.
Special Requests – All of our staff is here to make your trip extraordinary. It is our job and passion to help make some of your Alaskan fishing dreams come true, and we are excited to work with you to make it happen. All special requests are welcome. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, please don’t hesitate to ask.
